On March 10, 2026, Capricor Therapeutics announced that the FDA has lifted its Complete Response Letter (CRL) and resumed review of the Biologics License Application (BLA) for Deramiocel. The agency assigned a new PDUFA target action date of August 22, 2026—a pivotal moment after months of regulatory uncertainty.
FDA asks for the full HOPE-3 clinical study report but does not require new trials, while Capricor prepares a February BLA update. The stock hovers around 23–24 $, with a market cap near 1.16 B$, after a 2025 rally fuelled by Duchenne data and aggressive retail positioning.
Positive Phase 3 HOPE-3 topline results in Duchenne muscular dystrophy cardiomyopathy with statistically significant skeletal and cardiac benefit, reopening the regulatory path after the 2025 CRL.
